About Cody James Cummings

Cody James Cummings is a digital educator exploring philosophy, psychology, theology, history, and personal development to uncover answers to life’s deepest questions:

• Why are we here?
• What does it mean to live well?
• What is the purpose of life, specifically YOUR life?
• What steps can we take to make the future better than the present?
• What lessons can we learn from the great minds of the past?
• What is the relationship between suffering and meaning?
• How do we change—truly and permanently?
• What stories shape our lives—and how do we reshape them?
• What happens when we lose our connection to the sacred?

He’s the host of the Cody J. Cummings Show, where each video series is dedicated to discovering answers to questions like these and learning how to apply those answers in the real world.

He’s also the creator of the Big Bad Plan Program, a self-paced course for turning your ideal vision of the future into focused, daily action through a clear system of goals, projects, and habits (built into a Notion template).

And every Sunday, he sends the Things I Wish I Knew Earlier Newsletter—a short, no-fluff email with the week’s best ideas, insights, and highlights.

Cody lives with his wife Whitley and dog Nola Jane in the Birmingham, Alabama area.
